Water drop with 645

I set this up with the K5 and then used the Zed, hoping for massive prints and exquisite quality, but it wasn't better at all
The lens had to be stopped down so much to get the whole drop in focus (or shoot from further back and crop), that the image became noisy and soft.
This one turned out ok tho. Web-size at least. Won't go much bigger, which is ironic
I love the way two drops have been stopped at that moment of symmetry


Incidentally, I am finding the Z is not better at extreme macro at all. There's definitely a beautiful quality to normal macro, but I haven't got anywhere near the magnification of a K5 with its vast armory of available lenses and adapters. I'll keep plugging away tho...

That is stunningly beautiful Mark, a real eye-popper of an image. Did you light it with natural or artificial light?

Thanks David.
I used two Yongnuo flashes on about 128th and 1 second shutter in the dark with mirror up.

Very nice Mark. Well executed.

Best regards

Mark, from what I can see on my smartphone that's an exquisite shot.
